New system build - reboot loop when attempting to boot from SATA HDD

It's worth a try although I'm at a loss to understand how it would boot from a DVD. Well that was an interesting suggestion. The default setting for vcore is Auto, which resulted in a vcore voltage of 0.971v. Google seems to indicate that 1.35v is probably the upper ceiling for the Core i7-8700, but values of 1.1v to 1.3v are usually selected in order to keep the heat under control. Taking somewhat of a chance, I set vcore to Fixed (versus Auto), then entered a value of 1.1v. The system booted without issues from the Linux DVD, but it has done that before. I shut it down and reconnected the SATA HDD, leaving the optical drive connected, and tried to boot from the HDD. It booted perfectly! That's the first time it has been able to boot from the HDD. Now I'm letting it run through some boring routine admin tasks, such as creating system snapshots, making and suggesting a list of software packages that could be updated, etc. It's been running from the HDD for about 3 minutes now, and that's a huge leap forward. [Edit: It's been running for over 30 minutes and still going. Amazing!] What are you running for vcore? Also, Fixed or Ratio or ? In a previous post, I remember saying that I trust the defaults. Grrr... |
